Renters Workshops

CVOEO's free Renters Workshops provide participants the skills, materials, and confidence necessary to find and maintain stable housing. Workshops are offered as 60-90 minute webinars and as fully self-paced, online classes, and can be taken in any order - take one class or the full series!

Participants who complete all three workshops (Tenant Skills, Finding Housing, and Sustaining the Rent) and attend a one-on-one financial coaching session receive a Preferred Renter Certificate. This certificate shows a landlord that the applicant or current tenant is invested in being a successful renter, knowledgeable about resources, and connected to service providers, such as a financial coach. 

Experienced teaching teams from CVOEO’s Vermont Tenants and Financial Futures programs collaborate to offer the following free workshops and coaching experiences. Select the workshop blocks below to register for each session.

If you have questions, need help registering, or would like to schedule an interpreted workshop, please email classcoord@cvoeo.org or call 802-660-3455, ext. 205.

CVOEO staff are available to answer questions and provide follow-up coaching on tenant issues via our Tenant Hotline at 802-864-0099.

In-Person Preferred Renters Workshop Series

This series of three workshops will be held at CVOEO, 5 Lemnah Drive, Suite 5 - St. Albans, VT 05478 - and walk-ins are welcome! Tenant Skills includes the fundamentals of tenant rights & responsibilities, as well as fair housing and disability law. Finding Housing focuses on strategies for overcoming barriers to finding housing (such as a past eviction, no landlord references or a criminal record) and skills for conducting an organized housing search, including where to look. Sustaining the Rent focuses on strategies to financially prepare for renting, including understanding how credit affects the ability to pay rent and skills needed to track spending, build a budget, and find resources to help meet housing and basic needs.
